Number 3-Lawrence Taylor

Lawrence Taylor

L.T. Lawrence Taylor had an ability to dominate a game with his attack style and it changed the outside linebacker position from a read-and-react posture to an aggressive mode. A dominant force on defense, Taylor was named first-team All-Pro in his first nine seasons as a professional. He was a very intense player who had the strength to bull rush lineman and if not he would just run right past them. His greatest accomplishment was in 1986 when he had his best statistical year when he was named the NFL’s MVP. Becoming the first defensive player to do so in almost 20 years. Lawrence Taylor is second all-time in most career sacks with 132.5 and was probably known best for his ways with taking off opponent’s quarterbacks heads. In 1999 he was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and was presented by his son Lawrence Taylor junior.
